Shop Cajun Via Catalogue

December 29, 1988|By Carol Haddix.

For those who like shopping by armchair, here are two catalogues worth reading:

Gazin`s is a small, 12-year old company based in New Orleans that specializes in Creole and Cajun food products. In the firm`s catalogue, you can find such items as andouille sausage for gumbo, New Orleans French bread and Creole mustard. The complete line of Chef Paul Prudhomme seasonings and products from the famous Commander`s Palace restaurant are also offered.

From nearby Baton Rouge comes Community Kitchens` The Art of Food. Although it also offers foods such as tasso Cajun spiced ham from the region, the catalogue contains excellent coffees and coffee-making equipment, gadgets, kitcheware and more.
